Title: Why should a girl’s family name follow her mothers’? For humans, we are the most smart animal in the world. We have Y chromosome and Mitochondrion to carry our unique gene in our bodies. Females are physically weaker than males. In Chinese ancient culture, the families are first composed of meaning of female letters but later after that it switched to father’s name. A good reason for this change is female’s role becomes invisible. Another can be explained is for man’s privilege. To my opinion, family name is an expression of life itself. Girl’s family name should follow their mother’s .Females deserve the naming right. It can solve many problems we are facing now. It is the best time to take action.

Title: Why should we evaluate? What can we gain from other’s evaluation? If we improve and evaluation skills, can we use in our daily life? Gary has summarized his method. First remember your purpose of evaluation, then start with a compliment, encourage the speaker to work on weakness with points and suggestions at the end. One example of this situation. Your boss gives you a higher sales target without communicating with you. First defend yourself and help your boss save face. Mr. Jiang, you are a very hardworking person. You come early and we are lucky to have you in our company. Maybe you are too busy so you forget my target is *** RMB this month, Screenshot of our conversation about my target. Perhaps we can discuss your salary again next year.
Prepared Speech: PM 3.3 Using Descriptive Language Objective:Practice writing a speech with an emphasis on adding language to increase interest and impact. Speaker: Samantha Yan Time: 7mins
Behind my Anxiety I am extremely anxious in this year. There are three reasons behind my anxieties. First is for money, after buying the new house, our family have to afford more than double bank loan compared with before, second is for the heavy decoration jobs, there are too many things need to be solved together in the limited due time. I become hot tempered and easily annoyed with slow movement and unsatisfied solutions. Meanwhile, our business is running cold due to the impact of Covid-19, everybody in the company feel anxious more or less with the big pressure of finance. Those things have driven me to big worries. I want to make changes and find some support. Learning on Zhihu, I found the anxiety is our negative imagination of things not happened, it is the overreaction that we have for the potential and imagine risk. Later on I start to forgive myself, I talk to my husband and friends for help, my bad mood has released a lot through playing the electric piano and singing with my daughters. Put myself in more positive environment to share with others is a way to let us feel better.  Prepared Speech: PM 4.4 Building a Social Media Presence Objective: Practice writing a speech with an emphasis on adding language to increase interest and impact. Speaker:Suki lv Time: 7 mins
Sense of Presence Which kind of Social media are you using, Wechat, little red book or Zhihu? I like to writing articles on Zhihu much more than wechat. Since there is no limitation on Zhihu, I keep on answering some questions on that, moreover, I collect Toastmaster club information in Beijing. Zhihu helps me to build social media presence. Even it is online, it helps me to meet new friends and build connection. I further do my resolution of reading books. It becomes a important task for me. Some people may using social media for money, but for me I’m not that kind. I enjoy myself could be seen by more people.
